Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

That's right. She is an orphan and has signed a death contract, which means she can't even redeem herself. She has so much money and nowhere to spend it. So what causes her to keep stealing?

Gu turned around quickly and swore to Old Man Xu:

"Xiaoyan means someone instructed her? Master, although Huixiang is the head maid in my room, I have only used her for three or four months. If Madam had not passed away, I would not have liked her. How could it be possible that I instructed her?"

"Besides, I have been in charge of the household accounts for many years. Master, have you ever seen me deliberately embezzle money? I almost dug out my heart and gave it to the Xu family. Master, you can disbelieve me, but let me be arrogant. My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Our Gu family lacks everything except money!"

This statement was indeed arrogant. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was not the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so how could he dare to speak so arrogantly? But she said it firmly. Even if her father and she did not believe it, the people below did.

But Gu was indeed anxious. Xu Yixing hadn't brought the issue to her head yet, but she was already in a hurry to prove her innocence. This was clearly an admission of guilt.

I don’t know what my father is planning. If he doesn’t want to take over the management power of Gu’s company, then no matter how much I say, it will be useless.

"Don't be anxious. Yan'er didn't mean that. Sit down."

Gu sat down aggrieved and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Xu Yixing understood that his father would not touch her, at most he would just scare her.

"General, we didn't find any valuables in Huixiang's room, only 100 taels of silver."

"Master, how much does Huixiang earn a month? This hundred taels must be stolen money!"

"Yes. But the things she sold are worth more than a hundred taels. Madam, Huixiang is your maid after all. I believe you, but you have to give an explanation to Yixing's mother. You can't let her things be stolen for nothing."

"Master, what you said means you are doubting me! I..." She started crying again, tears falling like beads from a broken string, but my father didn't feel any sympathy at all.

"You and I are getting old, and our health is gradually failing. From now on, let the accountant in the mansion do the housekeeping work. They have been doing it for many years, and they won't make mistakes. When Yi Wen gets married, the new bride will naturally take over the household affairs, and Madam won't have to worry about it."

This is to seize power! It seems that Xu Yixing was wrong. It is not a deterrent, but a real power grab. And after taking it, he does not intend to give it back to her.

After hearing this, Gu's tears solidified on her face, washing away the rouge on her face, like a cheap mask.

"Master, Master, now that you've said this, you really don't care about our old friendship at all. I..." Ka, fainted.

"Help her back."

After the farce ended, Xu Yixing watched everyone leave, but he didn't feel at ease at all.

Is this the end? Is this all?

Dad has brought five witnesses and has endured for three months since the Chinese New Year, just to prevent Gu's housekeeper from doing anything? Isn't this just a case of much ado about nothing.

Only the father and daughter were left in the study. When Father Xu saw that she was still standing beside him, he showed a rare loving expression: "Yan'er, just ask whatever you want to ask."

"Although the items have not been recovered yet, Uncle Xu Qian said that half of the money was missing from the storehouse. It's impossible that there are only 100 taels of silver, right?"

"Of course it's more than that. The amount of money in the pawnshops that Dad can find is ten times that."

"That?"

"Yan'er, you also think it was your mother who did it, right?"

Xu Yixing lowered his head and said nothing. No matter whether his father really wanted to ask for his opinion or not, it was best not to express his opinion since it involved his parents.

"You're right. Huixiang actually confessed. She said it was Madam who was behind it."

"Why would you commit suicide if you confessed?"

"I ordered him to be killed."

Hmm? What tricks are you using to help Gu destroy the evidence?

"In fact, the missing items were not discovered today. Yesterday, Dad was thinking of picking some for you, and we found them then. As soon as she left the house today, I immediately had Huixiang detained and investigated everything. Otherwise, how could we have found a witness so quickly?"

Old Man Xu's face was full of sincerity and apology, as if he was sorry for hiding the truth. But Xu Yixing knew that he was still lying!

You clearly knew it three months ago, why, why did you tell Yi Yan a false truth! What do you mean?

"Dad is really smart. I admire him."

"Yan'er, don't blame me for not punishing her severely. In fact, she has been deducting your expenses over the years, and has been mean to you and your mother. I know all this. But, it's just that this is an inner house matter, so I can't say anything."

You know? You know she abused Yi Yan and Aunt Liu, why didn't you speak up!

Even if you say that it is inconvenient for a man to take care of matters in the inner house, if you go to Yi Yan's yard from time to time, why would she be so disappointed with the Xu family and pin her hopes on outsiders!

Xu Yixing couldn't hear anything now. It was as if there was something in her brain that could automatically detect lies. Every time her father said something, she felt like she was whipped inside and her stomach started to twitch. She wanted to vomit, she really wanted to vomit!

"Dad, don't say that. Your daughter can't bear it."

I really can't bear it. What qualifications do I have to forgive you on behalf of Yi Yan?

"Yan'er, no matter how bad Gu is, she is still your mother in name only, and the mistress of our Xu family. Do you want dad to divorce her just because of this?"

Old Man Xu's eyes were red and he seemed very emotional.

You are forcing me! What does it have to do with me whether you divorce your wife or not? It's not me who made her make a mistake or asked you to marry her! Dad is retreating to advance, forcing himself to forgive everything that happened to Gu.

Yi Yan might be moved by this rare "fatherly love", but I won't! I have seen how my father really loves me. It is not calculated, not concealed, but real love!

"Dad, you're joking. How dare your daughter think that? Your daughter only hopes that our family can live in harmony. I also hope that your father's career will be smooth and safe."

I hope for a big head ghost!

Father Xu was very satisfied with this attitude, and he spoke more gently: "That's it, we are a family after all. From now on, the accountant will be in charge of the accounts, and your calendar father will give you according to your sister's standards.

Your mother died early because she didn't take good care of herself. Don't learn from her. Eat when you should, drink when you should, and don't think too much when things happen. Only in this way can you be a good princess."

!

My mother doesn't take care of herself? Didn't she die because of you? Didn't she die because of Gu's abuse?

Xu Yixing has gone completely crazy. She can't even tell her own mother from Yi Yan's mother. She just wants to tear off this man's face as quickly as possible to see if it is made of a mask. How can she have the nerve to say that out loud!
